FARRPRENE IF85A

FARRPRENE IF85A is a styrenic block copolymer-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) specifically developed for injection molding processes. It offers a compelling combination of softness, durability, and process efficiency—ideal for applications where user comfort and mechanical integrity must go hand in hand. With an 85 Shore A hardness and high tensile strength, this compound ensures products are resilient yet user-friendly.

The material’s superior elasticity allows for significant elongation without tearing, making it suitable for dynamic components that require repeat deformation and recovery. Thanks to its smooth flow characteristics, FARRPRENE IF85A also supports rapid, consistent cycle times in standard injection molding setups, helping manufacturers optimize both output and product quality.

FARRPRENE IF85A demonstrates excellent thermal stability and resistance to environmental stressors such as humidity and UV radiation. This makes it a reliable choice for outdoor applications or components exposed to frequent temperature fluctuations. Its ability to maintain color and mechanical properties over time ensures long-lasting performance and visual consistency.

Due to its latex-free formulation and absence of allergenic additives, FARRPRENE IF85A is safe for skin contact, making it ideal for wearable items, hand tool grips, and certain medical device components. The soft-touch surface enhances user comfort without causing irritation, even with prolonged use.

The compound also supports high-quality colorability and a refined surface finish. It readily accepts pigments, resulting in vibrant, uniform coloration and a polished appearance. This aesthetic flexibility is especially beneficial in consumer products, home appliances, and sporting goods where visual appeal is a key factor.

FARRPRENE IF85A offers excellent compatibility with other polymers such as polypropylene (PP), enabling co-molding and multi-material applications. This opens up design possibilities for parts requiring both rigid and soft sections, such as anti-slip grips or ergonomic handles.

From a production standpoint, FARRPRENE IF85A allows manufacturers to streamline their injection molding operations. Its low viscosity and efficient flow reduce injection pressures and cycle times while minimizing material waste. These advantages contribute to energy savings and improved overall production efficiency.
